The Pursuit of Wisdom

While I have come a long way on my walk with God since becoming a mother, I still have so far to go…so much to learn and much wisdom to continue to gain. Yet, I can not gain wisdom if I’m not in pursuit of wisdom. If I stop reading God’s word, stop pursuing a […]

I’m Losing Memories

Yesterday I realized something. Something that I hadn’t noticed had creeped into my life and my thoughts. Something that I have to stop. Fact: My husband is 17 years older than me. Fact: My husband’s commercial fishing is taking him away from the family for longer periods of time than ever. These two facts can’t […]

Surviving and Thriving…Living Life Unplanned

The truth is that I haven’t been away from my PC for more than 5 hours (at which time I was sleeping) for over 2 weeks. I. am. exhausted.  As I’m continuing on this unplanned journey that God has me on, I’m discovering all of the reasons why He placed this word on my heart. If I […]

The truth is that motherhood makes you cry. The crying begins with tears of joy when you find out you’re going to have a baby.

As the Good Morning Girls have been reading through the book of Leviticus, I’m amazed at all of the wonderful ways I’ve seen how God fulfilled in the New Testament things from the Old. It’s truly wonderful to see how God took the law of the Old Testament and replaced the requirements and processes through […]

In the Silence…

My husband took our children to visit their Grammy this weekend and I’m left here alone in the silence. As I sit here with no sounds in my home, (save the hum of my computer), I find myself wondering… What is it about silence that we mothers crave so much? Why do we long for […]

God is a Planner…Just Like ME!!

Last week the Good Morning Girls started reading through the book of Leviticus. It isn’t really anyone’s favorite book, but since we’re on the journey to reading the entire Bible together, we had to read it sometime. I LOVE the Old Testament and how it points me to Christ and all that He has done […]

Marriage Requires Wisdom

No one walks into marriage knowing it all. It’s just not possible to prepare yourself for what lies ahead in your marriage because it’s unknown to you. You can’t prepare yourself for what you can’t see coming. So the truth is, that no matter how long you’ve been married, you don’t know it all. Whether […]

Simple and Joyful Motherhood Encouragement

Sometimes as mothers we make things too complicated. Our to-do lists can be too detailed, organization can be over the top and planning takes an astronomical amount of time. If we were simply to complete the tasks at hand and not fret the hows and whys so much, I believe that we would have a lot more […]
